"It's because I love you"
by Master's Apprentices
This is a pretty good outline of the different parts to this old song.
Any corrections and especially the rest of the lyrics are welcome.
These tabs a for a six string, but playing them on a twelve string would make ita hell of a lot easier.
There are 3 main riffs and an easy set of chorus chords:
riff 1 riff 2 |--------------|------------------------| |--10-9--7--5--|------------------------| |--------------|------------------------| |--7--6--4--2--|---5--4--5--7--5--4--5--| |--------------|------------------------| |--------------|------------------------|
Main riff/verse riff: (takes a while to get used to the fingering) A B C# E C# B A |--------------------------12----------------------------| |--10-10-12-12-14-14-14-14----14-14-12-12-10-10-10-10----| |--------------------------9-----------------------------| |--7--7--9--9--11-11-11-11----11-11-9--9--7--7--7--7-----| |--------------------------------------------------------| |--------------------------------------------------------|
just before
the chorus
play this note
twice then go
straight into
the A chord Chourus chords:
C# A B D A A6? (not sure, could be called Asus)
|-----------|--------------2-------------| |-----------|--2-----------3-----2---3---| |--6--6-----|--2-----4-----2-----2---2---| |-----------|--2-----4-----------2---2---| |-----------|--------2-------------------| |-----------|----------------------------|
Lyrics from the last half of the song:
(play riff 1 twice)
(play riff 2 twice)
Main riff:
A B C#
Once we walked together
E C# B A
>From the field up to the hill
Promised love forever
I remember that day still
It's because I love you
I'll come home to you one day
It's because I love you
In my thoughts you'll always stay
(C# note twice)
Chorus: (repeats around a dozen times then fades out)
A A6 B D A A6
Oooooo Do what you wanna do, be what you wanna be, yeah
